Old Fashioned Cut-Out Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the sour cream and baking soda; set aside. Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. 2
   Whisk the flour and nutmeg together, then add to the bowl, alternating with the sour cream mixture until they are both combined.
3. 3
   Roll in wax paper and refrigerate for an hour. If you are using cut-outs, cover in the bowl and refrigerate for an hour.
4. 4
   Remove from the fridge and slice into round circles about 1/2 inch thick ( these are NOT thin cookies!) or alternately, roll out the dough until it's 1/2 inch thick and cut out the cookies. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
5. 5
   Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the bottom has browned slightly. Depending on your oven, this could take up to 15 minutes. Just watch the bottoms!
6. 6
   Remove and cool cookies completely. Prepare a batch of my Buttercream Frosting. Frost the cookies and decorate with sprinkles of your choice! Keep in a sealed container for up to 4 days - these also freeze very well!
